TradeSkillMaster 4.13 – Supporting Dragonflight 10.1.5

Following on from our last update with a recap of what was done and was to come in TSM in support of Dragonflight professions and systems – we’re pleased to share further improvements as well as the release of TSM 4.13!

Recent Dragonflight Profession Updates

Rounding out the last releases in TSM 4.12, let’s recap what has been introduced since the start of the year and our last blog update.

  • Updated milling / prospecting / disenchanting rates for Dragonflight reagents.
    • Given the significant variations of profession knowledge and equipment we gathered a lot of data to represent averages across the board as best as possible.
  • New quality selector to easily switch between different target qualities for a given crafted item, as well as easy access to add finishing reagents.
    • Selecting a different quality will automatically adjust the reagents selected to meet the selected quality, and is further enhanced in 4.13!
  • Quality reagents can now easily be changed by clicking on the material row in the material list
    • Seeing each quality of the reagent for at-a-glance pricing info and inventory quantity helps you decide what to use

New improvements in 4.13

With the launch of patch 10.15 we are introducing version 4.13 of TSM with a number of improvements to Dragonflight profession support and other additions we think you’ll love.

4.13 Profession Updates

Iterating on the things introduced in 4.12, we have continued to improve profession support including:

  • Adding support for Dragonflight salvaging for milling and prospecting
  • Adding support for crafting inspiration to show potential cost and profit of a crafted item that is not guaranteed
  • Improving the Optional Reagent flow further from the modal introduced in 4.12 to an in-line editor when a recipe is selected, allowing quicker access to add embellishments and finishing reagents

Region-wide support in 10.1.5

With the introduction of direct trading between any characters for gold and items on any realm in a given region, we are also very excited to expand on TSM cross-faction support added in 4.12 to cover region-wide tracking and reporting.

In 4.13, and if the option is enabled in the TSM General Settings, addon information such as inventory and accounting data will be available on any realm in your region. That way you can reference what you paid for an item and see how many you have on any realm from any other realm.

This will also include gold quantity and gold history, so your TSM Dashboard will cover all realms in your region if you’re actively using the addon on multiple realms!

To manage Accounting Data, the option to remove old sales and purchases has been modified to support an input instead of a predefined list in the Accounting Settings. If you’re making use of this feature and experience some performance issues it’s recommended to purge older data (which won’t affect your gold charts).

Custom String Performance Enhancements

Some TSM users have created some monster Custom Strings for all kinds of Operations and material prices. We’ve spent some time optimizing how Custom Strings are calculated to improve performance for very large or complex Custom Strings in very large profiles. This should also reduce the number of errors encountered when using TSM with some content creator profiles.

Grouping pets by level

We are also introducing ‘item level’ grouping for Pets in 4.13, where the pet item level translates to the level of the pet. When you’re grouping items by ‘item level’ they will be treated differently when shopping and posting through operations vs pets of other levels that are not grouped for example.

Sniping with TSM in 8.3

Since the new Auction House changes went live in patch 8.3, we wanted to clarify some of the changes in fuctionality to the Sniper feature in TradeSkillMaster.

One of the biggest underlying changes, which was referenced in the blog post earlier this year, is that the AH no longer has ‘pages’.

Before 8.3 you could only see 50 auctions at a time, and you could only get information for another set of 50 auctions if you loaded the next or previous page. This also meant that there was a ‘first’ page and a ‘last’ page, and based on the way Auctions were sorted you could reliably identify those which had just been posted if they were on the ‘last’ page.

After 8.3 with pages being removed and no means to sort auctions by ‘most recent’, the only way to replicate the Sniper functionality is to repeatedly run a search for the items on the Auction House in general – just like you would search for something in the Default Blizzard UI.

This may feel sluggish and slower compared to how Sniper functioned before 8.3, so we would recommend using a smaller, focused group of items for a targeted approach to Sniping which requires searching for fewer things on the Auction House. We would also recommend removing the #Default Sniper Operation from the Base Group, as that will waste time running searches for all items that are not otherwise explicitly grouped.

When you search for an item in TSM or in the Default Blizzard UI, all items listed will be returned since there are no pages as described earlier. This behaviour will also occur behind the scenes when Sniping which slows down the process a little further – so when an auction is found to match your Sniper Operation, all auctions listed for that item will be loaded but those that do not match your Sniper Operation will be discarded by TSM.

We hope you are still finding deals while using TSM Sniper in 8.3. We will continue to explore options to improve the feature and adapt it to the new Auction House.

TSM Addon Changes for Patch 8.3

The first update to TradeSkillMaster in 2020 will be a considerable adaptation to the upcoming Auction House changes planned in Patch 8.3. If you haven’t heard about the in-game AH overhaul, or would like a reminder of the details, head over to the Wowhead preview post here.

The TSM Team have been primarily focusing getting the addon ready for Patch 8.3 since it was announced and made available on the PTR back in October. The following changes and adjustments have been made in the TSM Addon in Retail WoW for Patch 8.3 (Classic is not affected by this update):

Shopping & Sniper

One of the main changes of the Auction House is that listings are no longer paginated. You will no longer see 50 listings per page, because the AH is just one page now. This means there is no longer a first and last page of listed items.

Because of this change, we have adapted the Buyout Sniper to scan the entire Auction House. Additionally we have decided to retire the Bid Sniper, since it is no longer possible to bid on ‘commodities’ or sort them by duration.

When buying ‘commodities’, an extra confirmation dialog will be shown to enter the quantity to be bought at the lowest price. TSM can only let you buy the lowest priced commodities as per the new underlying Auction House behaviour.

Auctioning

With the new ‘commodities’ system, the Stack Size is no longer important in an Auctioning Operation so it has been removed. The Post Cap will determine how many items you are posting now, which has a maximum quantity increased to 5,000 from 200. Having multiple Auctioning Operations assigned to a group isn’t as useful as it was prior to 8.3, but this functionality has not been removed from TSM – your commodities will be posted in one large stack, per Operation.

When you run a Cancel Scan, TSM will suggest that you cancel an Auction that has been undercut, or has been listed more recently than your own at the same price.

It is also no longer necessary to Undercut with the new ‘last-in-first-out’ system, so Auctioning Operations will have no Undercut set on creation and by default.

All Auctioning Operations will be automatically migrated to function in 8.3 with the previously mentioned conditions in mind:

– Existing Operations with a Post Cap and Stack Size will multiply (Post Cap * Stack Size) to create a new Post Cap value
– Existing Operations with fixed-amount Undercuts will be rounded to the nearest 1s, meaning the default 1c will become ‘0’

Mailing

Some other infrastructure changes that Blizzard introduced for Patch 8.3 has allowed the mailbox to operate more efficiently. TSM will be updated to leverage the new 100 item inbox (up from 50) and 15 second mailbox refresh (down from 60).

Preview

You can test out all of the new changes on the PTR by updating to TSM4 version 4.9, which is live now. You can grab it on Twitch or let your TSM Desktop Application automatically update for your convenience.

TradeSkillMaster Classic Updates

It’s been somewhat of a turbulent start to Classic WoW, and we have been hard at work to get things right now that we’re back at the original Auction House of Azeroth. Here’s some of the things we are rolling out from today.

Manual Auction House Scans

In the mean time, we have been able to implement a manual scan as it previously existed in TradeSkillMaster. At the Auction House you can type /tsm scan to update both your DBMinBuyout and your DBMarket values. This data will persist after logging out.

Other Price Sources

Now that Auctioneer has been released for Classic, we have been able to fix the issue preventing AucAppraiser, AucMinBuyout, and AucMarket from working as intended and these price sources are now available to use in TradeSkillMaster. We have also introduced support for the addon Auction House Database, which provides an alternative light-weight option for scanning in Classic.

As always, you can type /tsm sources in-game to view the price sources available to you – based on the addons you have installed.

Desktop App Support

The TradeSkillMaster Desktop app now fully supports the WoW Classic game. This means your TSM profiles and data will be backed up by the application and the addon files will be updated automatically. With this release, there are two distinct versions of TradeSkillMaster – one for Retail and one for Classic. They are listed as such on Twitch/Curseforge as well, however the TSM Desktop App will keep them both updated. This also means you no longer need to tick the option to ‘Load out of date Addons’ for Classic.

In addition, you will now also be able to add your Classic WoW Realm and faction to the app. Pricing data for the Classic realms will be coming SoonTM.

Region Data Changes

As a final note, we have made an adjustment to the region level data provided through the Desktop Application. Now you will only receive data for a region if you have at least one realm from that region added to your application. If you had a realm from the EU region, you will only receive EU region data. This should reduce bandwidth and in-game addon loading times.

Additional Fixes

We have several more fixes in testing for various Classic-specific issues, expect another addon update in the coming days which will be discussed in a new blog post.

TradeSkillMaster 4.10 Teaser

It has been some time since we posted any updates here on the blog, the TSM team have been quite busy outside of the Auction House so far in 2019. Today however, we wanted to take a moment to share some insight as to what’s to come in the near future for TradeSkillMaster, with version 4.10.

New UI

One of the biggest areas we tackled in version 4.10 is a complete iteration on the UI and user interaction philosophy of the addon. Since the launch of version 4, we have read lots of discussions and comments with feedback on the design of the addon, both positive and negative, to understand the underlying reasons that created these feelings and experiences for you, the user.

We’ve made more efficient use of space and reduced the bulky overheads across the addon. In the primary interfaces such as Shopping, this gives more room to see the searches you use most often for example. Most of the buttons and actions most-used have been rearranged or moved to more prominent positions, creating a smoother flow as you move around the Auction House.

After running a shopping scan, the results are polished and clean making it easier to see the information you’re looking for at-a-glance. Columns are more clearly marked when sorted, and more of them are sortable. You can even resize them.

You may have noticed the pause button in the Shopping Scan screenshot, this is a new way of managing your scans and jumping in to buy something you spot that’s a crazy deal without losing your scan data, or even post items before your Auctioning scan is complete without needing to start over.

Custom Price & Value Improvements

Being able to reference your operation prices has been a popular request for some time, this will finally be possible in TSM 4.10. As an example, you have a Shopping Operation assigned to a group which provides a maximum shopping price for any item contained within it. This maximum shopping price can be referenced as a custom value in your Auctioning Operation assigned to the same group for example, or your minimum Auctioning price defined in the Auctioning operation can be referenced in your Shopping Operation. We think this will help create very powerful operations and tailor them even more to your preferences.

Empowering your operations even further, we will also be allowing the use of custom values and prices in some non-price fields. Take your Crafting Operation as an example, you may want to craft more or less of an item depending on its region sale rate, this will be possible by using a logic function in your max restock quantity instead of only using integers.

We are also exploring the addition of more value sources based on your own personal accounting data, such as sale rate to compliment existing purchase history and expiration data.

Crafting Spotlight: UI Improvements

Another common request is to replicate the default WoW UI with recipe pinning or favouriting. We have implemented this in to the TSM4 Crafting window and you can add your most commonly used recipes or cooldowns to the top of your recipe list, regardless of which expansion they’re from. Working in tandem with the Task List you’ll never miss a daily cooldown or restock. You’ll also have finer control over the Crafting Queue, with options to remove an item from the queue entirely with the click of a button regardless of quantity, and modifying the quantity on the fly with a text box instead of increments of 1.

As part of the general UI revamp, we have made more use of the space in this interface too. The materials required for a recipe has a bigger space to fill which is useful for those bigger crafts, plus the toggle between the recipe list and your TSM Group tree is more distinct for easier access.


We’re very excited for what’s to come with the version 4.10 of TradeSkillMaster, let us know what you think by joining the discussion on our Discord server, and be sure to follow us on Twitter for more news and updates!

TradeSkillMaster 4.5 released!

The latest version of TradeSkillMaster has been published, bringing the version to 4.5 (4.5.2 after hotfixes)! you can download directly from our site here: https://www.tradeskillmaster.com/install or grab it directly from Twitch/Curse.

Let’s take a look at some of the highlights of this release!

Changes to AuctionDB Pricing Data

After discussing with the community on Discord and reddit, we have decided to retire the ‘global’ level price sources in AuctionDB. Previously, this was a simple average between active regions (EU and US) – so if we were to add more regions in the future, such as Taiwan or Korea, this global price would logically average the price between all available regions which would no longer provide a valuable number. So after a transition period from the launch of 4.5, the following price sources will become invalid:

dbglobalmarketavg
dbglobalhistorical
dbglobalsaleavg


You may follow the prompt in-game after updating to map these to equivalent region level pricing via a custom price, or remove them from your operations.

Automatic Profession Groups

We’re very pleased to reintroduce this highly requested feature from TSM3, you can now create groups automatically based on your current professions!

Opening the profession window, selecting the Crafting Tab > Groups, there’s a new option under the three-dot context menu to create a group for your profession with two sub groups – one with everything you can craft and another with all the materials required for those crafts.

This provides a great starting point for any profession work, and allows for full customization on grouping preferences once everything is in an initial group. Note that this does not move any items that are already grouped.

Import UI Improvements

When you’re importing profiles or exports from your friends, you may not want to grab everything that comes with it. TSM now displays a better overview of what is to be imported and also allows you to remove specific items from the import before completion, as well as selecting to remove individual operations from the import. Once you’re happy with what is being imported, confirming will only import what you have selected.

Task List Improvements

You will notice two additional entries to the Task List in 4.5 – you will now be prompted when you have expired auctions on a character, or mail that is about to expire to save it from being lost to the nether. You can hide these as usual with the ‘eye’ icon.

Improved Messaging

Two updates to specific messaging have been implemented. The first in Mailing will now provide a summed total amount of gold collected from a mailbox.

Secondly, when an attempt to purchase an item from Sniper fails, the message will now be more verbose and print the item link of the item in chat that failed to purchase – on the occasion that the item is still there you can search for it and try again.

Various Bug Fixes

Several client freezes and crashes have been addressed, along with an occasional memory leak. An issue with the Mailbox persisting after closing and several UI misheaviors have been fixed.

You can view the full changelog of 4.5 here.

TradeSkillMaster 4.4.1 Released!

We’re pleased to reintroduce some popular requests for TradeSkillMaster with the release of version 4.4.1 along with some updates and bug fixes from several releases since version 4.2. Check out some of the highlights!

Crafting & Disenchant Search

We’re sure the Crafting Search is a welcome return to TSM. This search mode allows you to search for both the crafted item and the material component at the same time. This will also work for milled, prospected or transformed materials.

For example, searching for ‘copper bar/crafting’ will return Copper Bars and Copper Ore in the same results. Or alternatively, searching for ‘ashen pigment/crafting’ will return Ashen Pigment and the six Cataclysm herbs you can mill to produce the pigment.

Separated out from the TSM3 version of this function, the Disenchant Search is now its own flag in the Shopping module.

For example, searching for ‘temporal crystal/disenchant’ will search and return any items that disenchant into Temporal Crystals.

Gathering through the TaskList will fully utilise Crafting & Disenchanting searches.

Crafting UI

The materials list for a particular recipe has been tweaked to ensure text no longer clips and more materials are displayed for a much clearer overview of what a recipe required without further interaction.

In addition, you can now shift click items in and outside of your Crafting UI, such as the material list or your bags, to filter your recipes, link in chat or search on the Auction House.

Searching the Crafting UI by a material now also returns all crafts that uses that particular material. For example searching for ‘windwool cloth’ in your Tailoring profession will no longer simply return ‘Bolt of Windwool Cloth’ but also any crafts that require that item.

Deposit Fees

With the recent changes to the Auction House and an increased deposit fee of up to 20% on trade materials or crafting reagents, we’ve added the total deposit fee you’ll pay based on your auction buy out to the interface when you’re posting via the Auctioning or Shopping tab. This’ll help you better keep an eye on how much you’re spending to post your items and draw attention to when you could be spending too much to post certain stack sizes.

Auction Sale Notification

What better way to find out you’ve made a sale than to hear the satisfying ‘ka-ching!’ sound after someone buys your listed item. The option to enable the audible sale notification has been introduced in the Auctioning Settings.

Ledger Management

The Ledger has been updated to have finer control over individual records, you can now delete a purchase or sale entry at the item detail level by right clicking.

Destroying Tooltip Data

Milling, Prospecting and Disenchanting data for Battle for Azeroth items has been added to TSM. Your tooltips will be more accurate and show what you can get by destroying a particular item.

Various Bug Fixes

  • Made various behind-the-scenes improvements to how TSM caches item information
  • Fixed various issues with the Crafting UI not properly updating
  • Fixed error when clicking on things in the crafting queue without the appropriate profession being open
  • Fixed error when trying to buy or bid on an auction in sniper under some circumstances
  • Fixed bug with multiple Mailing operations not sending the correct quantities
  • Fixed issue with bidding through Shopping
  • Fixed a few enchants which TSM Crafting didn’t properly support
  • Fixed bug with “Repost Higher Threshold” setting in Auctioning operations not saving
  • Fixed UI bug with “Set minimum profit?” toggle in Crafting operations
  • Fixed UI bug with “Restock selected groups” button in Crafting being disabled when groups are selected
  • Fixed various errors after deleting an operation which was applied to the base group
  • Fixed various issues with searching the AH for enchants, BfA potions, and some old weapons/armor
  • Fixed bug with Shopping not properly finding items to buy in some situations
  • Fixed error when trying to send profile to an offline account
  • Fixed bug with min profit setting not saving correctly in Crafting operations
  • Fixed some invalid gold amounts in custom prices not being treated as such
  • Optimized the loading time of the group item lists for groups with lots of items

TradeSkillMaster 4.2 Released!

The team has been hard at work preparing and released updates very frequently since the launch of TSM4. And we wanted to share a bit of information on what has changed over the last couple of weeks with the release of version 4.2

The launch of Battle for Azeroth certainly drew out some new quirks and issues that weren’t apparent during the beta, however we have been quick to squash some particularly nasty issues such as the recent Auction House hotfix from Blizzard.

Let’s take a look through some of the highlights of the recent updates, and if you haven’t tried TSM4 since the initial release then now might be great time to dive in again!

Shopping

We heard you loud and clear regarding the Shopping interface, it wasn’t where it should have been and in some aspects was a step back from TSM3. A different design direction didn’t quite work out and we’ve given the Shopping interface a makeover. Reintroducing the ‘Post’ button, you can now throw the inconvenient hammer icon out and post an item even if there are none listed at the time. In addition, you can now see how many auctions are posted for a particular item and your own auctions or auctions you’ve placed a bid on are highlighted for quick reference. The ‘Stack Size’ and ‘Quantity’ data for auctions have now also been split into two columns for neater information, and there is now also an option to enable a confirmation button to all buyouts if you’d prefer to not to immediately purchase when clicking.

Inventory Viewer

The Inventory Viewer has made a return to the addon which gives you a perfect overview of all your stock. In this interface you can see the items on the Auction House, in your bags, banks, guild banks and also in the mail across every character.


Scaling

More interface upgrades have arrived with the introduction of UI scaling. As well as resizing the dimensions of a particular TSM window with the resizer in the lower right corner, you can hold the ‘shift’ key before resizing to alter the scale of the window too. Right-clicking the resizer will reset the dimensions and the scale of the particular window to default. Now you can make things a bit more readable or save some screen real estate while working through your gold-making strategies.

Profile Syncing

For those with multiple accounts, it’s now even easier to move your TSM setup to different accounts. After setting up an account sync within TSM, we have introduced an option to send your entire profile from one account to another. Naturally if your setup is quite extensive this may take a little longer than a few hyper-focused groups and operations.

Various Bug Fixes & Updates

Through more than 23 releases there have been dozens of bug fixes, issues resolved and behaviours tweaked. Major adjustments include accommodations for Blizzard’s horribly slow Auction Houses, optimisations for account syncing, updates to Vendoring, Mailing, Crafting, and Auctioning plus tons of workarounds for addon conflicts after the launch of Battle for Azeroth such as ElvUI, AllTheThings, and Bagnon.

TradeSkillMaster 4 Released!

The day has finally arrived! Close to two years of development by a dozen team members past and present, developing a staggering 75,000 lines of code to form quite possibly the biggest ever World of Warcraft addon project, in terms of scope and functionality.

We are incredibly proud and thrilled to say, TradeSkillMaster 4 has officially launched.

If you’ve been participating in the beta program, you’ll receive a final update through the TSM Desktop application containing the public release version of the addon. As a Premium subscriber, your application will also handle updating to the release version and any other updates released in the future.

After the beta program finishes, downloading TSM4 and keeping it up to date will be possible through Twitch or Curseforge, depending on your preferences.

For those of you who haven’t been following the beta, we wanted to share some overviews on what to expect in the new version of TSM – along with some top new features.

Accessibility

One of the main priorities for the new version of TradeSkillMaster is to make it much more accessible to new users. In order to do this we have first of all merged all of the TSM modules in to one core addon, this means you no longer have to separately keep track of multiple addons and their different versions. You now only need two addons, the main TradeSkillMaster addon and the TSM AppHelper addon to bring in your pricing information is all you need to get up and running!.

Once TSM is installed, you’ll notice it has been completely redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up. The new UI design was made with ease-of-use in mind, surfacing frequently used features or tools within the addon. Under-the-hood too, our code-base rebuild has led to more efficient loading times and performance when scanning, collecting mail or handling inventory.

We discussed the philosophy behind the redesign in a previous blog post.

Power Users

Not forgetting experienced goblins and gold-makers, our intent with TSM4 was to provide the opportunity to take a veteran or power user to the next level by introducing powerful new logic functions and exposing more data as sources to be referenced in operations.

Building upon the check() function, you can now also use logic-based parameters including:
ifgt() – “If Greater Than” or iflte() – “If Less Than or Equal To” and the new round() function for standard rounding.

In addition, being able to reference more data points in your operations allows for incredible granularity. With this in mind, and based on lots of feedback over the years, we have introduced the likes of DBRegionSaleRate, NumExpires, ItemLevel, and DBRegionSoldPerDay as sources that can be called in your operations.

You can read more about this in our Deep Dive blog post.

TradeSkillMaster Core

Taking a look inside the addon itself now, the main TSM window has received a major overhaul.

The new Group Tree is now headed by the all-encompassing Base Group. The Base Group essentially handles all items that are not in a group and comes with some basic ‘default’ operations out-of-the-box. This means you can now install TSM4 as a brand new user and get started with posting items from your inventory, crafting things from your profession and sniping cheap deals off the Auction House. The Group Tree also allows for incredibly easy organization since we’ve added drag-and-drop group management.

Importing and Exporting TradeSkillMaster settings has also been supercharged, with the addition of options to include custom prices and skip previously imported operations.

Auctioning

Posting items on the Auction House is usually a key way to make gold, so ensuring the Auctioning module of TradeSkillMaster is the best it can be was a big priority as part of the rebuild.

The Quick Post From Bags function has evolved as part of the Base Group, you can now select individual items to ‘quick post’ or run a full post scan against your Base Group with the default Auctioning operation.

On the back-end, efficiency improvements were made and running auctioning or cancel scans are much quicker in TSM4.

Once you’ve posted your auctions, you need a place to review what is posted and check for incoming sales. With the release of TSM4 we have introduced a new view in the addon called My Auctions which replaces the default Blizzard UI ‘Auctions’ tab. This lists your current auctions, sales and notes which group they’re in and how long is remaining on the auction.

Within this interface, you can also filter your auctions by duration and item name – then cancel everything without checking for undercuts.

Shopping

Many improvements have been made to TSM Shopping, including faster scanning just like Auctioning. The recent and favorite search section has been built upon, allowing you to save frequent searches and rename them for easier access. Shopping scans are also much more efficient, as with other forms of scanning.

Sniper was formerly part of the TSM Shopping module, however this tool has now been separated out in to its own first class feature. We’ve created a new type of operation for Sniper to allow extra granularity, applying the maximum Sniper price to a specific group of items – rather than a generic one-size-fits-all Sniper function, as it was in TSM3. In addition, we’ve also developed a Bid Sniper, allowing you to snipe auctions that are about to expire from the Auction House. Sniper will now also highlight new results by lifting them to the top of the list, plus offers to remove an item from the list that you don’t want to see.

Crafting

The TradeSkillMaster profession interface has been completely rebuilt, allowing much easier access to the information you need in order to make decisions on what to craft. At-a-glance data like profit, region sale rate and recipe rank are all included in the main profession window. You can also access a list of everything you can craft across all of your characters in the Crafting Reports, with contextual information like which operation is assigned, item value and profit along with an option to click-to-queue. Adding custom values or prices to your materials is also managed in this menu.

Gathering leveled up in TSM4 too, with the new Gathering priority system. You can tell TSM in which order to prioritize sources to collect: from including buying from the Auction House, your alts, your guild banks, crafting it when it’s profitable (or not) and purchasing from a vendor. The Gather window also has a list of materials set to be gathered and notes what you have and what you still need from each source.

Task List

This is a new feature in TSM4, and is quite possibly the most exciting foundational tool to build upon in the future of TradeSkillMaster. Upon initial release, the new Task List will handle all of your daily cooldowns and gathering for your crafting queue as discussed in the previous section. You can remove cooldowns you’re not interested in, and use the prompts to logout of a character, move items from your bank, send materials to a crafter or buy items from the Auction House or a vendor.

In the future, the Task List will potentially be the driving component of nearly everything you do with TradeSkillMaster – offering prompts based on other operations like Auctioning or Crafting, or tracking custom tasks like a farming objective.

 

Vendoring, Mailing & Warehousing

These TradeSkillMaster modules have received the TSM4 treatment, with a new UI design and under-the-hood improvements. Collecting mail, and moving items are much faster in TSM4, plus each module functions on the new and powerful Group Tree structure that underpins the TSM4 addon suite. TSM Mailing now also allows quick sending to alts, friends and guild-mates, plus drag-and-drop or right-click to add items to send in individual mail for the first time in TSM.

Patch 8.0 updates and TradeSkillMaster 4 Release Date!

The Battle for Azeroth pre-patch is upon us, and the countdown to the expansion launch marches ever-forward!

Updates for TradeSkillMaster 3 have been prepared for the 8.0 pre-patch and should be available now through your Twitch app, or directly through the TSM application if you’re a Premium member.

At the same time, we’re pleased to share more information on the status of TradeSkillMaster 4.

Open Beta saw participation increase dramatically as the excitement builds for the official release, with so many of you signing up, this was a bigger beta test than TSM2 and TSM3 combined! The addon suite is now feature-complete, with some aspects being foundations to build upon, so polishing and bug squashing is the final priority for the development team as we prepare to release TradeSkillMaster 4 on July 28th 2018.

Expect more addon updates as the beta testing period draws to a close, and keep an eye out for updated release notes in the #beta channel on our Discord server. The most recent updates can be viewed on our changelog, with various knob tweaking and dial twisting across the board.

You can also continue sharing your feedback with us, while any error messages you receive in-game will still be reported back for investigation automatically when you fill in the steps leading up to the error.

As always, big thanks to all of our intrepid beta-testers out there as well as the amazing WoW gold making community!
